$150 Billion And Counting -- Where Is the Mainstream Media Coverage Of Fannie And Freddie?

What is $150 billion really worth? It’s enough to buy each and every NFL franchise about five times. Or it could pay the median household income more than 3 million times over in the United States. It could even pay for 500 days of the war in Afghanistan at $300 million a day.

But it doesn’t buy much media coverage when that $150 billion is misspent by our own government and paid for by the increasingly over-stretched taxpayers.

That’s been the sordid tale of mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for years. And thanks to the left-loving gang on the network news, it doesn’t get any attention.

Much like the rest of the United States, Fannie and Freddie are in crisis – suffering a recent downgrade by Standard & Poor’s. 

Who can blame S&P? The combination of these two inept operations has cost Americans more than $150 billion and the meter is still running faster than a running back on steroids.
